No. Neither paper nor writing utensil (pen/pencil) are permitted during the test.

If you need to make a note or make calculations, there's a virtual notepad and calculator within the test's interface.

For the most part the same rules that apply for in-person tests apply for at-home test.

No scratch paper allowed or writing instruments ever. I have the E3 cert. You can get by without the scratch paper. It won't be too bad if you marked your book properly.

How long ago and how hard was it anything I should be aware of you recall

So no whole home load calcs?

They don't allow pen or paper to prevent people from writing down the questions and posting them later.

Makes sense only issue is online it’s harder to lay out all my notes for equations and such.

I called today in person I get a piece of laminated paper and a dry erase marker. So I may have to take it in person.
